## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) is currently conducting a procurement process titled "UKRI-2006 Photovoltaic System Components for Bird Island, Antarctica." This initiative falls within the goods industry category, specifically focusing on the supply of solar panels. The procurement process is now in the Tender stage, with documents available for access. The opportunity is primarily oriented towards reducing the reliance on Marine Gas Oil at the Bird Island Research Station by designing and supplying a photovoltaic system. For businesses interested in this project, it's pertinent to note that accessing the procurement documents requires a designated access code, 4J2KKT2EG8.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in renewable energy solutions, particularly those experienced in solar technology and battery integration. With a focus on achieving Net Zero, suppliers capable of delivering innovative photovoltaic systems that meet UKRI's specifications would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses with expertise in sustainable energy practices, project design, and electrical systems may find this project aligns well with their capabilities, potentially driving growth in a rapidly expanding sector.

## Notice

As part of The British Antarctic Survey's commitment to achieving Net Zero, there is a requirement to reduce the use of Marine Gas Oil (MGO) at all of its research stations. At present Bird Island Research Station's electricity is generated soley by 25kW three phase MGO generating sets (one operating and one on standby). This project is for the design and supply of a photovoltaic (PV) system covering the majority of suitable, existing roof space. The PV system must be compatible with SMA's grid forming battery inverters (Sunny Islands)
